Product info: The Joyo American Sound pedal reproduces the sound of a Fender '57 Deluxe amp. It has a sweet sound which performs well from clean to driven, and everywhere in between. You're sure to find the right tone with a number of adjustable parameters onboard - Low, Mid, Highs, Level, Drive & Voice.
Iridium gives you three iconic amplifiers, with a total of nine impulse response speaker cabinets that complement the tonality of the amp. Skip the hassle of lugging around or miking amps. Place Iridium on your pedalboard and send gorgeous stereo amplifier tones, stunningly realistic cabs, and lush room ambience direct to a recording interface or PA system. With Iridium, it’s a snap to dial in a direct tone that will truly inspire and sound great whether you are monitoring through in-ears, floor wedges, reference monitors, or studio headphones.
